(sorry for bad english)

So, I deleted my Segoe UI Emoji (the windows 11 emojis) font with a ""better"" but it looks absolutely horrible, does anyone know if there is a way to restore that file?

It all happened because of this video:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DOK9A24Q2kM

Windows 11 version: 23H2 (OS Build 22631.5472)

Maybe like a downloadable font file or something? I looked for it on the internet with no luck

Solved! thanks to JenxxTR (BlockTurbulent8062)

You need to replace the $DownloadURL with a locally downloaded seguimj file if it cannot fetch it! It runs in powershell

Hello i've been searching but can't find an answer so I thought might as well ask here and hope someone knows.

I absolutely despise the windows 10 emoji font, they are so ugly and also new emojis you can type on iPhone still show as squares on my computer.

Currently I used this to replace the emojis with twemoji but they still don't look very good and it doesn't work as well as I thought it would. https://github.com/eosrei/twemoji-color-font

Does anyone know how to replace the windows 10 emoji font with iPhone/Mac emojis across the system so emojis typed in discord (in channel names) and on websites and other stuff show as apple emojis? And also make sure the font is updated so it will show the new unicode?

Thanks!

Last year, the new emoji style from Windows 11 was published in articles such as this one https://winaero.com/get-build-22478-new-emoji-in-windows-10-and-windows-11/ where anyone can download the seguiemj.ttf font file.

A year later, Windows 11 emojis have gotten some updates, but there doesn't seem to be any place to find the updated seguiemj.ttf. Where can I download this, preferably without downloading Windows 11?

I modded Google's Emoji Font so that it replaces the ugly Windows default emojis, in particular giving you country flag emojis.

Download the Font (incl. instructions): https://github.com/perguto/Country-Flag-Emojis-for-Windows
